Done a starter pack for United related accounts - lots of new people coming over so will try to keep updated. If you're not on it, it's probably because I'm an idiot and missed you, but happy to add people... go.bsky.app/H5RGgxg
Love the international break. In the past 24 hours, United aren't planning any January midfield signings, but have bid for Wharton, might try for Anderson & a move for Baleba can't be ruled out, but those 3 are summer targets so Joao Gomes is a January option, though no midfield signings are planned

There was absolutely NOTHING in the Chancellors press conference to suggest income tax was going up.
That was the media.
Again.
Going into it believing it was going up a coming out of it repeating the claim.
I never thought it was going up before & didn't think it after.

Don't enjoy 12:30 kick offs - never seem to go well. Especially away games in London. So yeah, pretty excited for the match.

This year, Labour increased the minimum wage for all workers at well above inflation.
But they increased it even MORE for younger workers.
They aim to get the rates the same for all ages.
But Reform want the opposite - to reduce the minimum wage for younger people.
Support Labour. Oppose Reform.

Pretty poor that. Both wing backs struggled defensively - can't rely on clearing every cross, they have to stop a few coming in and help the defenders out a hit. Good to get a point after being behind, but that kind of switching off after half time can't creep back in, completely unacceptable.

And there I was worrying United might get complacent and switch off...

Oh, look at this - the letting agents apologise for NOT applying for the rental license & say Rachel Reeves would have been under the impression the license HAD been applied for.
Can we have the apologies now from everyone who have been absolutely obnoxious today in their handling of the story?

An elected MP, Reform’s Sarah Pochin says there are too many Black and Asian people on TV - so plain racism - and the coverage of it is buried. Silence and ignorance is complicity, causing lasting damage. When we see racism it’s what we do next, individually and collectively, that matters.

By the way, 8 (eight) fucking minutes? What was all that about? Also, who cares? So happy to finally get the win there, and glad it was Maguire who got the winner after he was so close to doing it there last season...

Sesko & Yoro on the bench? OK. Sure. Why not? At least nobody's out of position. Oh, wait - a left back at centre half & a winger up front. No complaints here though, just relentless positivity for such a...bold...selection. Which, obviously, I'm very happy with. Up the fucking purple and whites...

Last season Maccabi Tel Aviv played Ajax in Amsterdam & their fans went on an anti-Arab rampage. Throwing rocks at homes displaying Palestinian flags, attacking Arab taxi drivers & chanting “Let the IDF win and f*ck the Arabs” and “Why is school out in Gaza? There are no children left there.”

Does anyone know what Lammens is doing here?
Surely he's supposed to use the back of one hand to waft it directly to an opposition forward, or into the net, or just fall over and miss it completely?
(How bad has it been that a keeper doing the basics fairly solidly feels impressive?)

New keeper, clean sheet, a win without a penalty or an opposition player being sent off. Yeah, that'll do nicely thanks...

I see Hojlund scored when a midfielder played a pass for him to run onto rather than ignoring him, then scored again when a cross came in at head height rather than on the floor to the first defender or miles over everybody's head for a throw in. Revolutionary stuff.
